I’ve had 19 people visit this site in 2 hours after posting a profile to the new Google Base database service. All have come via a search for “non-profit” and almost none have stayed here for any time at all. I think that’s because the search results interface is confusing. Where do I click on an item to be taken to its Google Base page if the item is linked to another web site? I couldn’t even look at my own Google Base page from the search results, every click I tried brought me back to my blog. Not to mention that it was a nightmare to post the thing in the first place.

We’ll see how it works in the long run, but I thought it might be of interest to readers to hear about part of who was using it so far and how.
